It is now an established fact that Music does have a power of healing. Tradition and research has proven this already.
In the field of nursing and medicine, the healing effects of relaxing music have only been recognized lately. Though relaxing music had already been used before to help speed up the recovery of patients, this had been shoved aside. Doctors and health care professionals have been investing their time and effort on the search for medicines and therapies that can cure patients rapidly. Relaxing music has been then ignored until the time when health care professionals diverted back to the traditional methods of healing because of the side effects people get from medicines.
There are a lot of uses of relaxing music in helping patients recover whether it’s in the hospital or a clinic. For patients who are suffering from pain, relaxing music can be played to alleviate their suffering. When a calming music is played during physical therapy, then the results will be much better. Victims of heart attacks and strokes also recover faster when they hear relaxing music being played. This is because a calm music reduces the heart rate of a person. This then lessens the workload of the heart, paving the way for faster recovery.

There is an improvement in their behavior when music is played to them. Children with learning disabilities also respond to music therapy. Remarkable improvement is seen in them after music therapy. Research has also shown that relaxing music helps in alleviating the labor pains felt by moms who are close to giving birth. Other than that, it also has been proven to strengthen the immune system.
